General Motors began hiring temporary workers for some U.S. plants to replace union employees leaving because of buyouts and retirement incentives, reports Bloomberg. One Michigan UAW rep said 300 of his 2,800 members have taken the buyouts and at least 700 were interested. That means GM will be left with a shortage of workers in many areas. Temporary workers will make an estimated $16 to $17 an hour. A UAW assembly worker earns about $27.
